Method And System For Playing Trivia Games

United States Patent

Inventor

Appl. No.

Assignee

#6752396 Jun 22, 2004

Filed: Jul 24, 2002

Tommy R. Smith (77033 Houston, TX)

10/202528

International Classification:

A63F 918

U.S. Classification:

273429, 273432

Abstract:

The present invention is a timed trivia game. This game has two rounds. During the standard round each time a question is asked the contestant will this designated amount time to respond. If the contestant responds in less than the designated time, the remainder of the time designated to answer the question will be calculated and saved. At the end of the standard round all of the remaining time from the questioned will be calculated. This calculated time will be the amount of time in the speed round for that particular contestant or team. During the speed round, that contestant or team will have the opportunity to answer as many questions as the time allows. The correct answers from this round will be added to the score from the standard to determine the final score for that contestant or team.

Claim:

I claim: 1. A method for playing a trivia game comprising the steps of: compiling a general pool of trivia questions; selecting a first group of questions from the general pool of questions based on input from a first contestant; selecting at least one next group of questions from the general pool of questions based on input from a next contestant; combining the selected groups of questions to form the set of questions for use during the playing of a trivia game by the contestants selecting the groups of questions; determining the total amount of time each contestant will have during the game to answer the questions asked of the contestant; asking questions of the contestants, the questions being selected from the compiled list of questions; subtracting the amount of time required to answer the question from the determined total amount of time that contestant has to answer questions; adding points to the contestants total score for a correct answer to the asked question. 2. A method for compiling a set of questions for use during the playing of trivia games comprising the steps of: compiling a general pool of trivia questions; selecting a first group of questions from the general pool of questions based on input from a first contestant; selecting at least one next group of questions from the general pool of questions based on input from a next contestant; combining the selected groups of questions to form the set of questions for use during the playing of a trivia game by the contestants selecting the groups of questions; implementing the combined set of questions during the playing of a trivia game. 3. The method as described in claim 2 wherein the number of questions in the combined set of questions is less than the number of questions in the general pool of questions.

The invention is a pitching system with a pitching mechanism. A control panel allows a user to separately control ball speed and tilt angle. The control panel also displays an estimated height at which the ball will cross the plate for the selected ball speed and tilt angle. In the preferred embodiment, a vertical row of lamps shows the estimated ball height. The control panel can include symbology to indicate strike zones for batters of different heights. To operate the batting cage, the batter selects the desired ball speed. The control panel displays an estimated ball height based on the selected ball speed and current tilt angle. The batter then adjusts the tilt angle of the pitching mechanism until a desired ball height is reached. The batter then starts the machine. In this manner, the batter avoids wasting balls selecting a preferred choice of ball speed and height.

Fishing Pole Spool Holder

Filed: Sep 9, 1992

Tommy A. Smith (Montrose, CO)

7/941640

U.S. Classification:

D22134

Claim:

The ornamental design for a fishing pole spool holder, as shown and described.

The invention relates to the use of a flame resistant knit tube, made with either a seamless or seamed circular knit or a seamed or tubular warp knit fabric, used to protect a mattress, foundation, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection. In this invention, a tubular knit fabric is formed utilizing flame resistant yam and then optionally heat-set to prevent curling during subsequent cutting and processing. Heat-setting the knit fabric is especially preferred for circular knit constructions to prevent curling in subsequent processing. The knit tube is then cut to the length of the article to be flame protected, allowing enough additional length to sew a pocket closure on one end and a standard closure on the other end. First, one end of the tubular knit sock is sewn with a pocket closure seam, using a flame resistant thread or a suitable substitute. The open end of the tubular knit sock is then rolled up to the sewn pocket closure end so that it can be easily positioned over the article to be protected from flame. The rolled up knit sock is then unrolled down the length of the article to be flame protected. The second closure seam is then sewn with flame resistant thread, or a suitable substitute, over the open end of the article to completely encapsulate and protect the article. The invention has particular applicability in the formation of fire resistant foam mattresses and foundations that require passage of large open flame tests such as California's Test Bulletin 603 and Test Bulletin 129 and in the formation of fire resistant foam upholstery cushions that require passage of California's Test Bulletin 133 or British Standard 5852 using the crib 5 ignition source.

The invention relates to the use of a flame resistant three-layer double-knit or woven fabric, also know as a matelasse fabric. The top layer is of standard non-flame resistant face yarn, the middle layer is of flame resistant filler yarn and the bottom layer is of flame resistant core wrap spun yarn. This flame resistant matelasse fabric can be used to protect a mattress, foundation, mattress pad, pillow, comforter, upholstery cushion, pillow, office panel, transportation seat or any other article requiring flame resistant protection. In this invention, a matelasse fabric is formed by circular double knitting or weaving a flame resistant core spun yarn into the bottom portion of the fabric, utilizing a heavy cotton count flame resistant filler yarns for the middle layer and using conventional non-flame resistant yarns for the top layer. The invention has particular applicability in the formation of flame resistant mattresses and foundations that require passage of large open flame tests such as CPSC's 16 CFR part 1633, California's Test Bulletin 603 and Test Bulletin 129 and in the formation of flame resistant upholstered furniture that requires passage of California's Test Bulletin 133 or British Standard 5852 using the crib 5 ignition source or higher.

A baseball suitable for continuous use in a pitching machine comprises a molded, resilient polyurethane foam sphere having a type A-2 shore durometer hardness of less than about eighty to eighty-five. The sphere has a smooth polyurethane surface skin, with the surface of the sphere being provided with a regular pattern comprising a multiplicity of cup-like or hemispherical depressions substantially covering the surface. The baseball has the advantage of durability as well as the advantage of being formed economically in one operation from a homogeneous composition. The cup-like depressions enable the ball to travel greater distances than would be expected for the resilient material, and enhance the accuracy with which the ball can be pitched, bringing the ball substantially within the range of initial performance of a conventional or regulation baseball. The ball is pitched in a pitching machine providing backspin and the depressions appear to cause turbulent airflow enhancing lift and drag factors on the ball as well as stabilizing its flight path. The ball resilience further enhances the ease with which it is manufactured since the ball can be easily removed from a simple mold despite the presence of mold projections used to form the aforementioned depressions.
